Synthesis and Redox Behavior of Azulene-Substituted Benzene Derivatives and (η5-Cyclopentadienyl)[tetra- and di(6-azulenyl)cyclobutadiene]cobalt Complexes
摘要:
1,2-Di(6-azulenyl)tetraphenylbenzenes and (6-azulenyl)pentaphenylbenzenes were synthesized by Diels-Alder reactions of di(6-azulenyl)acetylenes and 6-(phenylethynyl)azulenes with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. Cobalt-mediated cyclooligomerization of mono- and di(6-azulenyl)acetylenes afforded 1,3,5- and 1,2,4-tri(6-azulenyl)benzene derivatives together with (eta (5)-cyclopentadienyl)[tetra- and di(6-azulenyl)cyclobutadiene] cobalt complexes. The redox behavior of these novel (6-azulenyl)benzene derivatives and [tetra- and di(6-azulenyl)cyclobutadiene] cobalt complexes was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Mono(6-azulenyl)benzenes exhibited a reduction wave upon CV. In contrast, 1,2-di(6-azulenyl)benzenes showed a two-step reduction wave at the similar potential region upon CV, which revealed the formation of a dianion stabilized by 6-azulenyl substituents under electrochemical reduction conditions. Three 6-azulenyl substituents on benzene in a 1,2,4 relationship also increased electron-accepting properties because of the formation of a closed-shell dianionic structure, whereas 1,3,5-tri(6-azulenyl)benzenes were reduced stepwise.
